Sicilian Bandit’s Flint Lock Blunderbus. L. 32 ins. 

The mouth of the barrel is oval, measuring 134 inches, so that the 
charge of slugs, gravel, etc., would scatter in a lateral direction; thus 
blinding both driver and guard on the Coach Box. The stock of 
olive root is hinged at the grip so that it may be folded and hidden 
beneath the cloak of the user. A sash hook on the left side allows the 
gun to be hung from the belt.

of the percussion system of 1850—a development of 350 years. See also 
Nos. 244-250. |

LeFauchaux in Rue Vivienne, Paris, in 1836 perfected the pinfire

more beautiful pair of pocket pistols than these which he showed at 
the International Exposition held at the Crystal Palace, London, in 
1859, which won the prize. 

*The ivory butts and fittings even to the ivory handle of the screw- 
driver are still without a blemish, the joint work a marvel, and much of 
the original browning of the barrels remains. Double barrel, like a 
shotgun, breech loading, with concealed triggers, they are truly. a mas- 
terpiece of the gunsmith’s art, of a total length of but 5% inches. In 
the original velvet lined case, with original screwdriver, ivory handle,
